My mother house, have 2 sliding door, and need 2 sliding motor, + installation close to 2.5k. So is really depend how many sliding door you have. Is not the cheapest. Per unit Sliding is more expensive.

No, at 1st everything seems just good but after close to 1yr then problem started to arise.
Especially when the guy said that my gate is just too heavy.
I was thinking why he never said so when he install it?
Now the gate is slow and most of the time it will stop by itself halfway then i have to press the remote again.
Worst part is when it rains and i have to go down to ASSIST the gate to open.
Also, i notice that my other neighbours who is using slide gate also quite noisy and slow.
My another house using swing has no such issue and require minimal service for the bearing only.
I prefer the gate to close faster cause i usually wait until it is fully closed before i go down.
You know la, nowadays many robber dash into the house when he gate is about to close.

Slide will sure be slow, Depend the length too. My current house, the door about 10 feet take 15 sec to fully close / open.

Swing, i find the Arm type (mine is OAE) i am using not very fast also, about 13 sec to fully close / open. Maybe due to the arm will slow down when starting, and ending.

Don't know. Did not bother to check. As long working for me is good. Is design or maybe is pre configure to be slow start and end. I'll open up the control box when I brought my 9AH batter.

You need to have bearing, if not the gate will not close or open smooth (especially when gate is heavy) Better ask the installer come and check.

How is your remote look like? I have 7 remote with me , 4 are dip switch, 3 are copy. The copy type will respond slower.

Don't compare price. We can always find cheaper after we brought the things.

If you read the comment further, problem come from installer and controller board. OAE and many other arm are reliable, but the installer and control unit is the main cause.

I am also using it for coming to 3 months.

So far this is 2nd house using autogate. My Mom house using sliding gate, have been running good, problem we faced mainly our fault. Gate was not fully open and we reversed out, damage the sensor. Still fixable.

my current house, normal swing type. So far ok.

Why water seeepage got to do with Autogate? I don't see how it cause this in autogate.

You not using submerged system right?

I don't think seepage is an issue. My in-law house using submerged type for so many years without problem. Think it come with a casing and it should be water proof too.

I think you worry too much. Sometime considering too many factor will make you not want to do what you want.

Well that use those Pilar type lol, ease maintain without need hacking tiles out

what is armour cable?

I don't have small door in any of my autogate. I find it to be a nuisance.
Use a reliable auto gate and don't have to worry about breakdown. Having a reliable installer is also important for after sales service. Any problem can be resolve quickly.

Anything will breakdown, no matter how reliable and quality, it will break down one day. Even human will fall sick. And power failure do happen.

im thinking to get a small door too for my autogate...but after consider it will spoilt the gate design , so i end up not to having one......after survey for quite sometimes i decided to get a DC moto GFM 905 premium....they quote me RM 1350....additional 400 for the wire and etc....which mean lump sum would be RM 1800....im ok with the price, ok with the DC moto itself .....my question is this installer from seremban.....as been told by them (installer) they even cover up klang Valley area.....so for those sife here...its safe to trust them for after sales service....im from PJ....tq

The DC moto 905 for 1.35k is quite cheap. I'm also consider to get this model but was quoted 1.6k. If the seller is reliable and good service
after sale, definitely will appeal to lot of potential customer. Too bad it's from Seremban. Pls let us know if u engage them.

Is it? My bro bought OAE autogate from them. He said ok & recommended me also. By the way, I'm looking for this DCMoto GFM-905 as well. My friend have contact that carry this brand. I will talk to him tomorrow & share it here if the price & service are right.
